NORFOLK, Va. (AP) 鈥� A bronze statue of Jesus Christ that hung on a cross outside a Virginia church has been recovered, minus one arm, after being stolen.
Tony Calcagni is the owner of Gutterman Iron and Metal Corp. He tells that two men arrived earlier this week with a statue of Jesus and a copper cross. The statue had one arm missing.
Calcagni says he paid the men $100 for the metal.
After seeing news reports about the stolen statue and cross, he learned the items, valued at $2,000, had been stolen from a park near Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Norfolk.
Calcagni called police, and the cross and statue were returned to the church.
